Here are the full event de-tails (
) of Dog Days of Kenmore:
Dog Days of Kenmore is back – and we’re working to make 2026 our best year yet! First launched in 2012, Dog Days grew over the next eight years into Western New York’s largest outdoor dog event, drawing thousands of dogs and their people to Mang Park each fall. The event paused during the pandemic years, and we are delighted to bring it back – same spirit, same community, same beloved afternoon in the park.
Whether you’re a dog owner coming for the fun, a pet-industry vendor looking to reach a passionate audience, or a curious neighbor wondering what all the barking is about – we’d love to see you there.
What to Expect
– Over 100 vendors from across the region – pet products, services, treats, accessories, and more
– Area rescue groups sharing their work and introducing adoptable dogs
– Contests and friendly competitions for dogs of every size, style, and personality
– Live music and entertainment throughout the afternoon
– Food trucks for humans (and sometimes the dogs, depending on the vendor)
– Parades, demonstrations, and activities that make an afternoon in the park a real event
